Am I ever glad the good Lord let me be born HERE and not THERE.

My wife is very thankful she was able to come here. Wish her family could come as well. Some of the relatives cope better than others with the Hindu badgering and mail stealing.

Part of their apartment building collapsed last year (twice), which I posted about here on FR, and that added to the stress.

There were parts of India I wanted to visit, such as the Himalayan Hill Stations, but I will never make it there.

============================================

One of the things that amazed me about many Hindus was their inordinate pride in their country. They are so proud of all that chaos, noise, rotting heat, mountain poverty, undernourished animals everywhere, deathly skinny cows, pollution in every village, city, state, province, polluted water, air, soil, government disasters...and corruption in EVERY single solitary corner of their world. Even the "pristine" Himalayas are riddled with pollution...even Everest.

We worked with Indians in the middle east and visited India for almost four weeks while we were over there. WHAT an eye-opener it was for me. An adventure, as my husband used to say.

If any of them come to live here in the US they rarely return there to live. No comparison.
